Installation of TeXLive fails on Etch
Hi
I think I put a similar question a year ago, but a that time I settled
with not installing TeXLive, using teTeX.
The other day I tried to install TeXLive on another machine (also Etch)
without problems, so today I tried with this one to, but no luck.
here is some output:
debian:/home/severino# apt-get install texlive

Why does apt-get try to install experimental on Etch?
Do I have to clean up my installation totally, ie. remove (manually) every
instance of reference to tex in /etc/ and /var/ ?
Thanks for any help, that can get me further on.
